Documentation Style & Standards

Book of Style & Standards for Clinical Documentation, 4th Edition

The 4th edition of the Book of Style & Standards for Clinical Documentation (BOSS4CD) from the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) is available in print and digital versions. This widely acclaimed industry
standards manual has long been the trusted resource for data capture and documentation standards in health care.

While the organizational structure is the same as the third edition, it marks a significant change from prior editions of The Book of Style in that it has been adapted to the current documentation environment within the electronic health record (EHR) and targets a much larger audience (eg, policymakers, health information managers, programmers, template designers, informaticists, editors, auditors, clinicians, and scribes).

The BOSS4CD is a curated, convenient reference for anyone working in clinical documentation (eg, policymakers, health information managers, programmers, template designers, informaticists, editors, auditors, clinicians, and scribes). It
is a compilation of relevant standards culled from numerous standards developing organizations and adapted to current technology. Style standards are intended to improve communication; they ensure consistency within a document and
across multiple documents and improve readability and comprehension.
